POPPY OUT… Horrible news for oyster lovers and those who love fine yet unpretentious dining. Poppy Hall has announced that the popular restaurant will shut its doors after brunch service on Easter, April 17, after four years in downtown Pacific Grove. The first inkling of a decision to close came several months ago and was linked to increased costs, including rent. The restaurant will continue lunch and brunch service through April 17. Dinner service will end on April 10. 589 Lighthouse Ave., Pacific Grove. 204-9990, poppyhall.com
